But everyone began to take uotiee when he appeared in the Upper Middler Class, and simply eouldn't be put into Study Ilall. Ile made an en- viable reeord for himself immediately. Ile was made a member of the Fifteen by Mr. Rutledge for his use of linglish, and a member of the Ilall of lfame by Mr, lN'IeI.aughlin for his knowledge of Cieero. .lohn's intelleetual brow and general un- eouseious expression have attraeted mueh attention. lt is a common sight to see him :imbling aimlessly along, having forgotten what he is looking for. Ilis expression is somewhat different, however, while walking oft' guard for numerous roll-eall euts. Ile says that there is no eollege like that of his paternal aneeslor, so our best wishes go with him to PHINCI'1'I'ON 2-t Willett Enrlanh. Zlr. San Diego, Cal.

'Tiivelh grave unto every arf. llere we have the original riddle! On Irving debating team, up in his studies, member of the swimming team, and a par- taker of .Iimmy Curranis twisters, but nevertheless nieknamecl Absent,' and Holl- Call Cutter! But this versatility is exaetly what we want to eompliment you on, old man. We have it on good authority that absent is no word to apply to Dorlaudts mind when he is interested in debate. Ile is so serious of purpose that we overlook the missing of roll ealls and sueh trivialities. Dorland is also a member of the Fresh Air Club, not in that he takes a fresh-air eourse, far from it, but that he always has his window open to keep his mental radiator eool while he works. Our best wish for you, Dorlund, is that your year with us will serve as a pattern for 1 eaeh of your four at l.iz1.ANn Sr.-xwrono, .I

This time-worn veteran of the school has at last attained the privilege of being a senior after wearing out the Main Ilall steps sitting in Upper Middler pictures. Doug is so much of a senior that he could absent himself all the fall term and then make it by a heavy schedule of fifteen hours. Hi is a confirmed pessimist and is the first to tell you that you are on the guard report or in Study Hall. IIe can always foresee new rules and bans on floors, and all other little joy-killers. Ile was always known in the past as a shark in German, but it is rumored that Henri Hersh is taking his place in the lingo of the home of pretzels and beer. He was closely defeated for the presidency of the Pessimist Club, but rules as Vice-President with much delight. May success be yours, Doug.

Tom Hrst won distinction as a prize hghter and general rough-neck when he challenged Lyn Peer last year, for the supremacy of the hrst floor Kell. Ile lost the first encounter, but, like the famous bull-dog, he came back again and again, and now rules the first floor of Keil with an iron fist. .But Tom has other valuable assets besides his physical prowess.

Red is famed far and wide for his freckles, his red hair, and his funny jokes. NYC are not sure that his jokes are funny, but his college room-mate claims they are. In lied's three years he has acquired the habit of returning to school three weeks late after a vacation. How he gets away with it, we do not knowg but he docs. Red is skilled in the art of doing lricks with a half dollar. llc will gladly demon- strate if you will provide the coin. lflis speed in slight of hand is only equaled by his speed on the track. .Jimmy Curran will miss Hed. Aside from running, jumping, pole-vaulting, and hurdling, Red does little in the track line.

Never do lo-day what you can pu! off 'till to-morrowv Gentleman CD, scholar CU, and athlete! This is the renowned Squirrel Fillman, one of Mercersburgfs big athletes and a bigger rough-neck. Ile out-distanced the field on November 27, 1917, and had his name in- scribed on the Williams Cup. That evening at the dance held in the gym, the floor wasn't big enough for him and the crowd of feminine admirers surrounding him. Squirrel is Kaiser of South Cottage. The younger generation quake and tremble at the very sound of his voice or the thump of his approaching foot-step. Even the faculty game wardens stick close to their apartments when Squirrel enters with his usual manner, letting forth loud grunts in order to inform everyone of his presence. May you win real success in college and life, Squirrel. PENNSYLVANIA ,,9,,,.,zafff,zn7fz 25 1 Z 111
